you feel is necessary). I also encourage you to conduct your own research and use (and

accomplish or change?
Were there leaders? If so, who were they? If not, why not?

what role did men play?)
What methods/tactics did the movement use to achieve its goals/aims?
Was the movement successful or not? Explain why.
